MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL
:MEETING HELD ON MAY 12, 1997
(# 10 Spring Hill Golf Club -Continued)
Dick Krueger asked about oak wilt noting it is easily spread and difficult to control. He
asked that the oak trees not be disturbed. Braman said the DNR has not responded to
that specific concern. He said they were informed that the roots of trees should be
severed to ensure infected trees .not spread disease. Jabbour asked that the applicant
submit a report from a tree expert on this issue. Braman will provide this information as
part of the forthcoming information from the DNR. A progress report is to be submitted
before any decision is made at the next Council meeting. Morrison said a plan will be
submitted before that meeting, and he will keep the City updated.
Jabbour asked if enough information was provided to allow a document be drafted for
adoption at the next Council meeting. He asked that findings be prepared to allow for
action to be taken regarding the EA W at the special meeting. Gaffi-on said the package
will be formatted for EAW acceptance with no EIS required. He will work with Radio in
drafting the document. Goetten asked for updated material prior to the meeting.
· Crosby asked for clarification on payment of the upgrade of Spring Hill Road. Jabbour
said this would depend on where the access is located. If the existing access is approved,
Jabbour clanhed that a by-pass lane would be mcluded. Kelley said the by-pass lane
should be long enough to allow for cars to move into that lane soon enough for the next
oncorrung car.
There were no additional public comments.
The special meeting was scheduled to continue discussion of the EAW on May 21 at 6:00
p.m. Braman noted that the majority of the information should be available at that time.
Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to continue the review of the CUP to the Council
meeting ofMay 27 and the EAW review to the special meeting ofMay 21 at 6:00 p.m. or
to the May 27 Council meeting if said meeting is canceled. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-RESOLUTION NO. 3898
The applicant was present.
Van Zomeren reported that the after-the-fact application is .for a CUP and hardcover
variance for a boulder wall that is partially in place. The Planning Commission
recommended approval subject to conditions regarding the placement ofthe boulders as
noted in the staff memo. It was noted that it is difficult, if not impossible, to ·obtain
approval of a boui<ler wail from a structural engineer. The ciate in the resoimion has been
changed from April to May.

MEETING HELD ON.MAY 12, 1997
(#6 -#2222 Joseph Vochko -Continued)
Goetten said some of her concerns were answered after speaking with the applicant. She
asked Cook to comment.
Cook was informed of the slope of the hill, the height of the wall, and the boulders being
placed in "pockets';. Cook said he was comfortable with the use of large b oulders which·
should be fairly stable.
Jabbour noted that the Council cannot give direction regarding safety and engineering but
address only the aesthetics and hardcover issues.
Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3898. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays

(#12) COUNTY ROAD.19/TONKA VIE\V DRAINAGE SITUATION
Property owners, John Bessessen and Kathy Sawicki, were present to discuss this issue.
Gappa said work began last summer to make improvements regarding drainage problems
by use of ditching and rip~rap and an overlay on CoRd 19 to reduce the amount of water
traveling down that road. This did not solve the problem. The two property owners
have incurred $46,000 in damages in 1996. History of the problems are relayed in the
report.
Gappa said the best solution is to create a ponding area to limit the flow into the existing
culvert that runs under CoRd 19 to divert water flow from Tonkaview. The engineering
cost reflects regrading of the intersection with catch basins and a storm sewer by the
ponding area to reduce flow into the lake. Conversations have been held with the
property owner where the pond is to be created. Gappa said it is his intention to present
this recommendation to the Council to obtain approval to proceed with the concept.
Jabbour asked if the land in question is currently wetlands. Cook said the property is
more pasture land that is not maintained. It is not wet.

VARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 10.22, SUBDIVISION 2 AND GRANTING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PER
SECTION 10.03, SUBDIVISION 19 THROUGH 21
FILE NO. 2222
WHEREAS, Joseph Vochko (hereinafter the "applicant") has an interest in the
property located at 2925 Casco Point Road hereinafter the owner within the City of Orono
(hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows:
Lot 96, Spring Park, and that part of vacated Lakeshore A venue accruing thereto,
Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "property"); and
WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to the City for variances to Municipal Code
Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow hardcover where no hardcover is allowed and has requested
a conditional use permit per Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 through 21 for land
alteration within the Shoreland District. The above conditional use permit and variance to allow
for the construction of a stairway and installation of a retaining wall per the following.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2222.
2. The property is located in the LR-lC Zoning District where one-half acre is
required. The property is sewered.
3. This is an after-the-fact variance and conditional use permit application.
4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 21, 1997 and
recommended approval of the proposed variance and conditional use permit based
upon the following findings:
A. The steeped topography of the lot requires a stairway to access the lake
front.
Page 1 of 4
B. Construction activities will include excavation and placement of boulders
along the shoreline.
5 . The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and
do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the
variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire
hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship
or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant;
and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
6. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow proposed
installation of a retention wall will not be detrimental to the health, safety or
general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire
hazard or other danger to neighboring property, nor will its use depreciate
surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will
be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby
grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow a hardcover
variance for boulder retaining wall and stairway in the 0-7 5' setback to increase hardcover from
220 s.f. or 4.8% to 390 s.f. or 8.6% where no hardcover is normally allowed and has requested
a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 through 21
for land alteration in the Shoreland District. The above conditional use permit and variance to
allow the construction of a stairway and installation of a boulder retaining wall subject to the
following conditions:
1. The voids between the boulders shall be filled with vegetative growth to prevent
piping and erosion.
Page 2 of 4
2. Boulder-to-boulder contact shall be established during construction. If the boulders
come loose in the future, they shall be replaced in their original position.
3. If the boulders do not remain in place, then the boulders shall be restrained and
pinned into the hillside.
4. If the boulders do not retain earth after reinforcement, the conditional use permit
shall be amended and the concrete retaining wall referenced in the 3/20/97 letter
from GME consultants shall be constructed.
5. The boulder retaining wall shall be annually reviewed by the Building Official to
determine compliance with the conditional use permit.
6. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the owner, but
are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a land alteration
permit within one year of the date of Council's approval, or the special conditions
of this resolution will expire on that date (April 28, 1998).
7. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this
resolution shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Code, shall automatically
terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
8. The undersigned applicant has read, understood and hereby agrees to the terms of
this resolution and on behalf of himself, his heirs, successors and assigns, hereby
agrees to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property.

2. Good boulder to boulder contact shall be established during construction. If the boulders
come loose in the future, they shall be replaced in their original position.
3. If the boulders do not remain in place, then the boulders shall be restrained with heavy gauge
wire mesh placed in front of the boulders and pinned into the hillside with earth anchors.
Steel bearing places or similar devices shall connect the wire mesh to the earth anchors.
4. If the boulders do not retain earth after reinforcement with wire mesh and earth anchors, the
conditional use permit shall be amended and the concrete retaining wall referenced in the
3/20/97 letter from GME consultants shall be constructed.
5. The boulder retaining wall shall be annually reviewed by the Building Official to determine

The proposed boulder retaining wall and granite stairway increase hardcover from 220 sq. ft. or 4.8%
to 390 sq. ft. or 8.6% where none is allowed.
Description of Request
The applicant has indicated that he wants to replace an existing stairway made of railroad ties with
a granite stairway. The applicant also wants to have a retaining wall at the shoreline constructed of
boulders for a more natural appearance.
Issues
1. This is an after-the-fact application.
2. It is difficult to quantify the stability of the random boulders.
3. The proposed stairway and retaining wall require a hardcover variance of 390 sq. ft. or 8.6%.
Staff Recommendation
To approve the hardcover variance and conditional use permit, subject to the following:
1. The voids between the boulders shall be filled with topsoil and vegetative growth to prevent
piping and erosion.

2. Good boulder to boulder contact shall be established during construction. If the boulders
come loose in the future, they shall be replaced in their original position.
3. If the boulders do not remain in place, then the boulders shall be restrained with heavy gauge ·
wire mesh placed in front of the boulders and pinned into the hillside with earth anchors.
Steel bearing places or similar devices shall connect the wire mesh to the earth anchors.
4. If the boulders do not retain earth after reinforcement with wire mesh and earth anchors, the
conditional use permit shall be amended and the concrete retaining wall referenced in the
3/20/97 letter from GME consultants shall be constructed.
5. The boulder retaining wall shall be annually reviewed by the Building Official to determine
compliance with the conditional use permit.

It is our understanding based on the most recently amended improvement plan that the rip rap project
will extend the OHWL a maximum of 8', even at the most indented piece of shoreline, and that no
attempt will be made to straighten the shoreline as prohibited by DNR regulations.
Any fill placed behind the rip rap or to the land side of rip rap is regulated by the City of Orono Land
\
Use Regulations Section 10.03, Subd. 19 as follows: ·
"It is unlawful for any person to ... change the grade or shore of lakeshore property
without a conditional use permit issued by the Council .... "
Also Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (J) (2) states: (also reference Section 10.56, Subd. 7 enclosed)
"Grading, filling and excavating is prohibited within 75' of the OHWL ... "
These specific ordinance section s are enclosed for your information. The City's ordinances will

At your request, a copy of the amended rip rap plan for the above referenced prope1iy has been
enclosed. You have also asked for more detail on the City's approval of specific land alterations to
be completed on the land side of the rip rap project.
"-
you have already been advised that the City did not approve the original plan that would have called
for the filling of 30 cubic yards of material. This intense a filling project would have required a
conditional use permit and variance approval from the City of Orono.
Mr. Spartz and Bruce Vang, Orono's Building Inspector, have agreed that final land alterations
required to the land side of the rip rap will be approved by Bruce at the time of a site inspection. Mr.
Spartz has agreed to call Bruce when the snow has been removed and the distburbed area is ready
for restoration. Bruce has advised that it is impossible to make a determination but it is hoped that
the borrowing of fill will be limited to "a wheelbarrow full or two of black dirt".
It is difficult for staff to make any definite estimates as the information presented to the City is
limited to the cross section of the rip rap. We do not have a plan view, survey or topographic map.
At the time the snow is cleared away, the inspector hopes to be able to see what the shoreline
actually looks like.
The goal for the City and we hope for the landowner is to provide an appropriate amount of topsoil
so that groundcover is restored to all disburbed areas. The City has not approved any major changes
in existing elevations or topography within defined work area of this rip rap project.

Excelsior, Minnesota 55331 GME Project No. 6721
RE: Design recommendations for the block retaining wall
construction at the Vochko residence in Orono, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Spartz:
This report presents our design recommendations for the proposed
granite block retaining wall at the Vochko property in Orono . This
work was performed in accordance with your written acceptance of our
contract dated February 13, 1997.
Project Description
The property owner, Mr. Joe Vochko, has retained you to construct a
granite block retaining wall on the residential lot at 2925 Casco Point
Road in Orono . The existing wooden stairway and timber retaining walls
leading from the residence down to Lake Minnetonka have been removed.
You plan to reconstruct the stairway and retaining walls using cut Cold
Spring granite blocks and slabs. Each granite retaining wall block is
trapezoidal in shape with dimensions of 6-5/8 inches high by 10 inches
deep by 14 inches long. Each block weighs approximately 80 pounds.
We have attached with this report a copy of the site plan you prepared
showing the location of the wall and wall heights. The wall will have
a maximum height of 5.25 feet in one corner of the walkway (designated
as the intersection of walls A and B). From this corner, the wall will
slope downward to a minimum height of 1.84 feet (three blocks). At the
tallest wall sections, you plan to anchor the blocks into the hillside
using conventional helical screw anchors fastened to the blocks with
threaded anchor bolts. The walls and stairway will be constructed at
the same location and same heights as the previous timber wall.

As an additional component of the project, you have placed 3 foot
diameter boulders approximately 4 to 5 feet behind the existing rock
riprap along the level bench in the slope at the toe of the hillside.
These boulders were placed for erosion control at the toe of the slope.
This spring, you plan to fill the voids between the boulders with soil
to establish a vegetative growth.
Scope of Services
Our scope of services for this project, as outlined .in our contract, is
limited to providing design and construction recommendations for the
proposed granite block retaining wall, and also to present our
evaluations concerning the suitability of the · boulders for erosion
protection.
Our scope of services do not include a global stability analysis of the
hillside . Our wall recommendations will only be provided with respect
to local stability of the wall system and erosional stability of the
boulder facing zone.
Design Recommendations
Soil information is not available, therefore, we have had to make
certain assumptions for our design. We assume that the foundation and
retained soil will consist of stiff sandy clay till having a moist unit
weight of 130 pounds per cubic foot, a drained friction angle of 27°,
and a remolded undrained shear strength of 250 pounds per square foot.
The walls should be embedded at least one block course (6.5 inches)
below final grade in front of the wall. We recommend that the lowest
block layer bear on a compacted gravel or crushed stone base having
minimum dimensions of 6 inches deep by 18 inches wide. The gravel
should conform to Mn/DOT 3149 .2B. The gravel or crushed stone base
should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum Standard Proctor dry
density, ASTM: D 698. Prior to constructing the granular base, the
exposed clay subgrade should be observed for soft or loose zones.
These zones would require additional subcutting and replacement with
compacted granular fill . A 1 foot wide piece of filter fabric (Mn/DOT
3733, Type 1) should be placed on top of the gravel base course,
beneath the joint between the lowest block course and the granite
walkway slab in front, to minimize pumping of the base course through
the joint. The fabric should not extend beneath the entire width of
block.
We recommend that the block wall be constructed with a slight batter of
6° (3/4 inch setback per block) back into the retained embankment. We
recommend that the backfill within at least 6 inches of the back of the
wall consist of free draining granular fill such as Mn/DOT 3149.2H. At
the base of the drainage layer, we recommend placing a 4 inch diameter
slotted pipe (Mn/DOT 3278) wrapped with a Type I filter fabric (Mn/DOT
3733). The drain pipe should allow gravity drainage of accumulated
water away from the walls . Therefore, the pipe should daylight down
slope .

Mr. Steven Spartz
GME Project No. 6721
February 18, 1997
Where the walls are than three block courses in height, we
recommend that each block (including the blocks below three block
courses) be adhered together with a high modulus outdoor construction
epoxy, such as Hilte ClOO or Seca 32. The use of the epoxy is required
since the blocks have very little block to block shear resistance.
Please be advised, however, that by adhering the blocks, some cracking
may occur over time, due to frost induced movement.
Where the wall is higher than four block courses in height~ we also
recommend restraining the wall by the installation of earth anchors.
The anchors should be 5 feet long and have a single 6 inch diameter
helix at the end. Anchors should be attached to the .fourth and seventh
block courses. We recommend that the anchors be spaced two block
courses horizontally. We have amended your elevation drawings to
indicate the location of the anchors. These amended drawings are
attached. The anchors should be carefully rotated horizontally into
the clay soil. Careful installation of the anchors will be required to
reduce disturbance of the clay as the helix and shaft enter the soil.
Each anchor mus\;_ be installed so that the entire 5 foot length is
em0ecided into the soil. The anchor should be properly tensioned and
appropriately secured to the block. In our opinion, the attachment
detail you indicate on your drawings would be adequate.
Included with this report is a diagram that you had prepared outlining
the bluff toe protection that you have partially implemented by the
installation of the 3 foot diameter boulders. During our site visit of
February 12, 1997, we observed that the boulders had already been
placed. We recommend that the voids between the boulders be filled
with topsoil, and that the vegetative growth be established (Mn/DOT
2575) on the exposed topsoil between the boulders. Some slumping of
the topsoil may occur with time, into the voids, and these slumped
zones should be backfilled with topsoil, and vegetation should be re
established. In our opinion, this toe protection should be adequate
for erosion control of the exposed slope face at the location of the
boulders, provided that adequate vegetation can be established and
maintained between the boulders.

NO. OF PAGES: 2
I live at 2925 Casco Point Road. My land is flat, and as you approach the lakeshore, there is
about a 20 foot hill descending to a flat beach area at the base of the hill, which then has rip rap
descending into the lake. I purchased my property three years ago and this is where I plan to live
the rest of my life and raise a family. I am getting married this fall. It was my dream to live on
Lake Minnetonka and now it is my goal to improve my property. I would like to request a Building
Permit to do the following.
Replace Stairway
The present stairway is built into the hill and has a switch back as it descends down the hill to the
lakeshore. The previous owners built the stairway out of used railway ties which were probably
half rotted when they put them in. It has reached the point now that the railway ties are totally
rotting out. Because of their decaying condition they are becoming unsafe and allowing erosion.
Specifically, the present four foot railway tie wall at the first platform is collapsing due to decay and
allowing erosion. My plan is to replace them with granite steps with the proper foundation so that
it will be stable and attractive for many years to come. Enclosed is a building plan by my
contractor which has been reviewed and certified by a certified engineer for a stable, erosion
resistant, long lasting granite block stairway. The new stairway will follow the exact same track as
the old stairway. This spring, after the stairway is built, my fiancee and I plan to plant numerous
shrubs, etc. to control erosion and 'beautify the hill surrounding the stairway.
Random Placed Boulders At Base of Hill
The base of my hill has had several mud slides over the previous years. I would like to stabilize
the base of the hill by randomly placing large boulders into the face of the hill. These large
boulders by their great mass will serve to stabilize the base of the hill. Enclosed is a building plan
by my contractor which has been reviewed and certified by a certified engineer for a stable,
erosion resistant, long lasting random placed boulder out cropping at the base of the hill. This
spring, after the boulders are in place, my fiancee plan to plant various shrubs, etc. in between the
boulders to aid in controlling erosion and to beautify the hill. We believe that the random boulders
provide a much more aesthetically pleasing appearance versus a cold, stark timber wall or
something similar. The randomly placed boulders look much more natural on the hillside. We plan
to add shrubs , etc. to give the area sort of a north woods boulder, shrubby appearance.
Enclosed is my contractor's permit proposal and his engineer's evaluation of this proposal. Also,
enclosed is my check for $175.00 for the permit fee. If any additional information or money is
required, please contact me and I will provide whatever is necessary.
We hope that the above project will provide an environmentally sound and beautiful addition to our
land. We believe that the view from the lake should be a great improvement over what was
previously there.
I hope that the above proposal will meet with your approval.
Sincerely,
Joe Vochko

I have reviewed your application for a conditional use permit which was submitted at 12:30 p.m.
( after the noon deadline) on Friday, February 21, 1997, and am writing to inform you that the
application is incomplete·as submitted for the following reasons:
1. The application is filled out for a "residential accessory use". The application should be
properly referenced as a conditional use permit for land alteration to allow retaining walls
within the 0'-75' setback of the lakeshore. Additionally, the proposed retaining walls will
also require a hardcover variance. The fee schedule for the conditional use permit and
variance 1s:
Application Fee After the Fact Fee
Conditional Use Permit $250.00 $500.00
Variance $75.00 $150.00
TOTAL: $650.00
An additional $475.00 is required before this application will be processed. Please be
advised that the only authorized body that can waive remittance of the penalty fee for an
after-the-fact application is the Orono City Council after the full amount has been remitted.
I will amend the application as noted on the enclosure to indicate that this is for a conditional
use permit and a variance.
2. A certified survey of the 0'-75' setback area showing all existing and proposed improvements,
excluding riprap along the shoreline is required. The survey must also include a hardcover
worksheet which is enclosed for your use. (Normally, we would require a full survey of the
Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510
entire site, however, in an attempt to expedite this application, we are requesting a partial
survey for only the 0'-75' setback area).
3. The GME Consultants Inc. report of 2/18/97 has been sent to the City Engineer for his review
and comment. When I have received his comments on this report I will forward them to you.
This item will not be scheduled for a public hearing until the fee has been submitted along with the
additional information that has been requested above. If you have any questions about this matter,
please contact me at your earliest convenience at 473-7357.

We have reviewed the proposC\d granite hlock retaining wall construction on the Vochko property
at 2925 Casco Point Road. We have the following comments in regard:-to engineering mnttcrs.
1. Retaining Wall: The design prepare.d by GME Consultanti,;, Inc. appears to he acceptable from
an engineering standpoint. The applicant should contact the City at least 48 hours prior to the
wall installation Lo 1,c:hedule a series of inspections. The. inspectors should verify that the
construction recomme .. ndaLions detailed in the GME report are impkmented in the field.
2. Bluf'f Toe Protect.ion: The random placcnrnnt of boulders previously done at the property
includes houlders placed nearly nn top of each other ~t a 1,teep slope, with uncompactcd fill
placed between them. The previously placed boulders should be reinslalled so that then.\ is a
horizontal separation between the front and back or the two rows of boulders, in accordance
with the cross sectional dettdl provided with th(j GME design.
2. Erosion Control: Prlor to starting lhe work, proper erosion control measures must he in place,
such as silt fence. Shortly after the work is completed, the disturbed areas should he sodded or
seeded wilh u suitable ground cover.
Please contact rne al this office if ym1 have any questions re.garding this matter.

RE: Boulder placement for erosion protection at the Vochko
residence in Orono, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Spartz:
The owner, Mr. Joe Vochko, has requested our opinion concerning the
stability of the boulders placed at the toe of the slope leading to
Lake Minnetonka. This was pursuant to concerns raised by the City of
Orono and the City Engineer, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates.
On March 19, 1997, we met Mr. Vochko on-site and observed the boulder
placement. We understand these boulders were placed during the fall
and winter of 1996-1997. The boulders were randomly stacked to form a
relatively steep angle approximately 4 to 5 feet high. There is a
horizontal separation or terrace between the boulders and the rock
riprap placed for shore line protection. We understand that the voids
between the boulders will be filled with topsoil and a vegetative
growth will be established between the boulders, to prevent piping and
erosion of the retained earth through the voids between the boulders.
To our knowledge, there is no accurate way to quantify the stability of
the existing boulders. However, based on our experience, we offer the
following opinions. In our judgement, the boulders should be stable in
their current configuration provided that good boulder to boulder
contact was established during construction. Please note, however,
that over time some isolated boulders may loosen and become unstable.
If this should occur, then additional boulders should be placed, or the
boulders should be replaced to their original position.
If this is unacceptable, then in our judgement, one method of
increasing the stability would be to place additional boulders in front
of the existing boulders to form a flatter angle. However, this would
result in the loss of some area (terrace) separating the boulders from
the shore line riprap which, to our understanding, is not acceptable to
the owner.

As an alternative, you could consider restraining the boulders by the
use of heavy gauge, galvanized wire mesh which is placed in front of
the boulders and pinned into the hillside through the use of earth
anchors. The wire mesh could be placed such that it would be, for the
most part, hidden from view by the vegetative growth. We envision that
this scheme would entail removing selective boulders and installing 5
foot long, 6 inch diameter helical earth anchors into the hillside at
approximately 5 to 6 foot horizontal spacings . It would be important
to have appropriate structural connections from the earth anchors to
the wire mesh, utilizing steel bearing places or similar devices.
Please be advised that we were requested to provide an opinion
concerning local stability of the boulders only. Our scope of work
does not include global stability of the hillside, that is, stability
of the soil beyond the boulders. If you have any questions or need
further assistance, please do not hesitate to call us.

(#3) #2201 AD.AMS/FIEGER/ROBB, 570/580/590 BIG ISLAND '.'" PERMIT FOR
PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS IN RIGHT-OF-WAY -RESOLUTION NO. 3885
None of the applicants were present.
Gaffron explained that three property owners on Big Island, who have adjoining properties
separated by a dedicated right-of-way, propose to share a septic system. They initially requested
vacation of the right-of-way because part of the replacement septic system was in the right-of
way. Planning Commission did not respond positively to the vacation so the applicants had the
site evaluator redesign the system The drainfield is now totally within one of the properties but ·
they still need a permit to put piping in the right-of-way to connect all three properties to the
septic system. Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions noted in the staff
memo of April 23, 1997.
Kelley moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3885 granting a permit for placement
of private sewer lines and a section offence within the right-of-way dedicated within the plat of
Pleasant View Lake Minnetonka on Big Island for the owners of property at 570, 580 and 590
Big Island. Vote: · Ayes 5, nays 0.

Council must take formal action on the need for an EIS by May 9, 1997. Cowicil·has two
options: 1) postpone the decision on the need for an EIS for up to 30 days to obtain more
information; or 2) make a positive declaration requiring that an EIS be_prepared, or a negative ·
that an EIS is not needed. If Council determines they have all the needed information, they can
proceed with the decision on the need for an EIS. A formal documentation of the basis for
Council's decision must be ma.de, comparing the impact that may be reasonably expected to

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. _______ _
A. The steep topography of the lot requires a stairway to access the lake front.
B. Construction activities will include excavation and placement of boulders
along the shoreline.
5. The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and
do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the
variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire
hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship
or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant;
and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
6. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow proposed
installation of a retention wall will not be detrimental to the health, safety or
general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire
hazard, or other danger to neighboring property, nor will its use depreciate
surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will
be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby
grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow a hardcover
variance for boulder retaining wall and stairway in the 0-75' setback to increase hardcover from
220 s.f. or 4.8% to 390 s.f. or 8.6% where no hardcover is normally allowed and has requested
a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 through 21
for land alteration in the Shoreland District. The above conditional use permit and variance to
allow the construction of a stairway and installation of a boulder retaining wall subject to the
following conditions:
1. The voids between the boulders shall be filled with vegetative growth to prevent
piping and erosion.

(#6 -#2221-Sven Wasberg and Arlene DeCandia-Continued)
Stoddard said he would support the application if the existing foundation were used. If
not, he asked that the residence be repositioned and made smaller.
Wasberg said he would move the design back on the lot. He also indicated he informed
the neighbor that he would plant a row of trees between their properties.
Berg indicated the applicant should be able to move the proposed residence back behind
the average lakeshore setback line.
Lindquist suggested tabling the application to allow the residence to be redesigned for a
smaller structure that could be placed further back on the property. Wasberg indicated he
cannot pull the entire structure behind the 75' setback because he needs room to back a
car out. Lindquist asked Wasberg to work with his architect on the design. He also asked
the applicant to attempt to eliminate the need for a side setback.
Wasberg asked for direction on how big the structure may be. After discussion, the
applicant was informed to limit the structure coverage to 1500 s.f.
Hawn suggested the structure be shifted so it lays perpendicular rather than parallel to the .
shoreline ..

variance is required for the wall in the 0-75' setback and the CUP to alter the retaining
wall. The work was stopped in progress. Letters from and to the applicant are part of the ·
package. The resolution would allow the applicant to place random boulders. The
engineering consultant recommended the boulders with caution as there is concern of
movement with boulders. The proposed stairway is adequate. The resolution would
include conditions 1-5 as noted in the staff report.

(#7 -#2221 Joseph Vochko -Continued)
Mr. Vochk:o said the boulder wall was required for erosion control. He had thought the
contractor had obtained the necessary permits. There had originally been a railroad tie
wall. He did not wish to replace the same type of wall or block type as they would require
geo-grid material. The boulders will follow the terrain of°the hillside to produce a natural
look for the purpose of stabilizing the hill. The applicant said he plans on adding low
bushes. The Building Inspector and City Engineer came out to the site and asked his
engineering consultant to anchor any boulders that might require additional stabilization.
There were no public comments.
Smith questioned whether the hill would still erode.
Schroeder noted that engineers will generally not approve boulder walls.
The applicant indicated that the hill as viewed by the Commissioners was not as planned as
the work had been stopped in mid construction. He noted he plans on adding cedar chips
and vegetation. ·

being requested are for street setback (25' where 30' is required), west side setback (9.5'
where 10 is required), and east side setback (6' where 101 is required). Lot area variance is
• required from the I acre minimum for the 85 SO s.f. property. The lot width is 46-50'
where 140' is the standard. A variance to allow 75-250' hardcover of 1956 s.f. or 40% is
requested where 1220 s.f or 25% is normally allowed. There are no changes to the
application. Gaffron indicated Staff is continuing to work with the applicant regarding
drainage on the property.
Hoarn indicated the previous resolution asked for a grading plan which the applicant still
intends to provide.

We have reviewed the proposed granite block retaining wall construction on the Vochko property
at 2925 Casco Point Road. We have the following comments in regards to engineering matters.
1. Retaining Wall: The design prepared by GME Consultants, Inc. appears to be acceptable from
an engineering standpoint. The applicant should contact the City at least 48 hours prior to the
wall installation to schedule a series of inspections. The inspectors should verify that the
construction recommendations detailed in the GME report are implemented in the field.
2. Bluff Toe Protection: The random placement of boulders previously done at the property
includes boulders placed nearly on top of each other at a steep slope, with uncompacted fill
placed between them. The previously placed boulders should be reinstalled so that there is a
horizontal separation between the front and back of the two rows of boulders, in accordance
with the cross sectional detail provided with the GME design.
2. Erosion Control: Prior to starting the work, proper erosion control measures must be in place,
such as silt fence. Shortly after the work is completed, the disturbed areas should be sodded or
seeded with a suitable ·ground cover.
Please contact me at this office if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Yours very truly,
BONESTROO , ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC.

RE: Design recommendations for the block retaining wall
construction at the Vochko residence in Orono, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Spartz:
This report presents our design recommendations for the proposed
granite block retaining wall at the Vochko property in Orono. This
work was performed in accordance with your written acceptance of our
contract dated February 13, 1997.
Project Description
The property owner, Mr. Joe Vochko, has retained you to construct a
granite block retaining wall on the residential lot at 2925 Casco Point
Road in Orono. The existing wooden stairway and timber retaining walls
leading from the residence down to Lake Minnetonka have been removed.
You plan to reconstruct the stairway and retaining walls using cut Cold
Spring granite blocks and slabs. Each granite retaining wall block is
trapezoidal in shape with dimensions of 6-5/8 inches high by 10 inches
deep by 14 inches long. Each block weighs approximately 80 pounds.
We have attached with this report a copy of the site plan you prepared
showing the location of the wall and wall heights. The wall will have
a maximum height of 5.25 feet in one corner of the walkway (designated
as the intersection of walls A and B). From this corner, the wall will
slope downward to a minimum height of 1.84 feet (three blocks). At the
tallest wall sections, you plan to anchor the blocks into the hillside
using conventional helical screw anchors fastened to the blocks with
threaded anchor bolts. The walls and stairway will be constructed at
the same location and same heights as the previous timber wall.

Mr. Steven Spartz
GME Project No. 6721
2 February 18, 1997
As an additional component of the project, you have placed 3 foot
diameter boulders approximately 4 to 5 feet behind the existing rock
riprap along the level bench in the slope at the toe of the hillside.
These boulders were placed for erosion control at the toe of the slope.
This spring, you plan to fill the voids between the boulders with soil
to establish a vegetative growth.
Scope of Services
Our scope of services for this project, as outlined in our contract, is
limited to providing design and construction recommendations for the
proposed granite block retaining wall, and also to present our
evaluations concerning the suitability of the boulders for erosion
protection.
Our scope of services do not include a global stability analysis of the
hillside. Our wall recommendations will only be provided with respect
to local stability of the wall system and erosional stability of the
boulder facing zone.
Design Recommendations
Soil information is not available, therefore, we have had to make
certain assumptions for our design. We assume that the foundation and
retained soil will consist of stiff sandy clay till having a moist unit
weight of 130 pounds per cubic foot, a drained friction angle of 27°,
and a remolded undrained shear strength of 250 pounds per square foot.
The walls should be embedded at least one block course (6.5 inches)
below final grade in front of the wall. We recommend that the lowest
block layer bear on a compacted gravel or crushed stone base having
minimum dimensions of 6 inches deep by 18 inches wide. The gravel
should conform to Mn/DOT 3149.2B. The gravel or crushed stone base
should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum Standard Proctor dry
density, ASTM: D 698. Prior to constructing the granular base, the
exposed clay subgrade should be observed for soft or loose zones.
These zones would require additional subcutting and replacement with
compacted granular fill. A 1 foot wide piece of filter fabric (Mn/DOT
3 73 3, Type 1) should be placed on top of the gravel base course,
beneath the joint between the lowest block course and the granite
walkway slab in front, to minimize pumping of the base course through
the joint. The fabric should not extend beneath the entire width of
block.
We recommend that the block wall be constructed with a slight batter of
6° (3/4 inch setback per block) back into the retained embankment. We
recommend that the backfill within at least 6 inches of the back of the
wall consist of free draining granular fill such as Mn/DOT 3149.2H. At
the base of the drainage layer, we recommend placing a 4 inch diameter
slotted pipe (Mn/DOT 3278) wrapped with a Type I filter fabric (Mn/DOT
3733). The drain pipe should allow gravity drainage of accumulated
water away from the walls. Therefore, the pipe should daylight down
slope.
'--------------------GME CONSULTANTS, INC. --------------------'
Mr. Steven Spartz
GME Project No. 6721
3 February 18, 1997
Where the walls are higher than three block courses in height, we
recommend that each block ( including the blocks below three block
courses) be adhered together with a high modulus outdoor construction
epoxy, such as Hilte Cl00 or Seca 32. The use of the epoxy is required
since the blocks have very little block to block shear resistance.
Please be advised, however, that by adhering the blocks, some cracking
may occur over time, due to frost induced movement.
Where the wall is higher than four block courses in height, we also
recommend restraining the wall by the installation of earth anchors.
The anchors should be 5 feet long and have a single 6 inch diameter
helix at the end. Anchors should be attached to the fourth and seventh
block courses. We recommend that the anchors be spaced two block
courses horizontally. We have amended your elevation drawings to
indicate the location of the anchors. These amended drawings are
attached. The anchors should be carefully rotated horizontally into
the clay soil. Careful installation of the anchors will be required to
reduce disturbance of the clay as the helix and shaft enter the soil.
Each ar.chor m1.1st: be installed so that the entire 5 foot length is
em~edded in~o cha soil. 7he anchor should be properly tensioned and
appropriately secured to the block. In our opinion, the attachment
detail you indicate on your drawings would be adequate.
Included with this report is a diagram that you had prepared outlining
the bluff toe protection that you have partially implemented by the
installation of the 3 foot diameter boulders. During our site visit of
February 12, 1997, we observed that the boulders had already been
placed. We recommend that the voids between the boulders be filled
with topsoil, and that the vegetative growth be established (Mn/DOT
2575) on the exposed topsoil between the boulders. Some slumping of
the topsoil may occur with time, into the voids, and these slumped
zones should be backfilled with topsoil, and vegetation should be re
established. In our opinion, this toe protection should be adequate
for erosion control of the exposed slope face at the location of the
boulders, provided that adequate vegetation can be established and
maintained between the boulders.
Concluding Comments
We recommend that you complete the "Project Quality Contractor -
Project Completion Form" after construction. It is understood by all
parties that the contractor will be responsible for the methods and
results of his/her work. We will not warrant, assure, or guarantee the
work of the contractor.
The contractor must comply with the latest OSHA regulations for trench
and slope excavation, and general construction site safety. The
contractor must designate one of his field personnel as the OSHA
"Competent Person" who must be capable of identifying existing and
predictable hazards on site, including temporary slope stability. The
Competent Person must have authorization to direct prompt corrective
measures to eliminate hazards. GME will not accept any responsibility
or liability for construction safety on this project .

The City has been notified by the MWCD that a permit has been issued to Stephen Spartz at
Landview Landscaping for rip-rap work on your shoreline . As part of this work, the contractor is
proposing approximately 30 yards of fill landward of the new rip-rap. We have informed Mr. Spartz
that per Orono City Code such fill will not be allowed without a conditional use permit approved
by the Planning Commission and City Council.
If you wish to proceed with this part of your project, the next possible meeting for Planning
Commission's consideration would be April 21, 1997. All submittals for that meeting must be in
this office by noon, March 28. I have enclosed the application information. You will want to
contact Jeanne Mabusth of the Zoning Department as soon as possible to get the process started. I
have also included several letters which reference this project so that you are completely informed
about the City's policy on lakeshore fill. Also our agreement with Mr. Spartz to inspect the site as
work ·is underway, and perhaps allow a few wheelbarrows of black dirt to aide in restoration.
Fillin'g. yvithin 75 feet of the Ordinary High Water Level of public waters in the City of Orono i/.d granted a conditional use permit is unlawful and punishable as a misdemeanor.

RE: \Vater Lmv and City Ordinances Regulating Shoreline Riprnp and Shoreline Stabilization Projects.
Delegation of Pem1itting Authority to St,1te \Vater Law.
Dear Jeanne,
It is my understanding based on our most recent conversation, concerning the Joe Vocko Project, that your
city needs Discretionary Standards for ,,·hen ,1 project in the 0-75 zone needs a Individual City Pennit or a
State D0-'R Individual Penn it (No,v governed by the lvICVv'D under tvll\T Stat. 103G.245.
Below I have two Proposals for use in Discretion. Below the two projects I have labeled reasons for the two
proposals.
I. .i\ny Riprnp Project in which the entire project is within 25' of the OH\V is governed by State
Pennitting Authority and not City Pennitting Authority.
A. This zone is usually disturbed during construction or needs improvement to better enhance
the riprnp project itself
II. i\ny Shoreline Stabilization project within the 0-75' zone is governed by State Pennitting Authority
and not City Pennitting Authority.
A A.-; you are mvare many properties on the Lake within your city are located on Bluffs with
very steep and high emb,mkments. \,
B. The DNR has been in recent years have working on erosion control plans using vegetation,
internal fill stabilization, and retainingwalls when needed for these projects.
Page 2 of 3
C. Enclosed is a Stabilization Project in the City of .tviinnetrista that I am working on. I will
be sending a copy to the DNR (MC\iVD) for pennitting authority. Although this project is
located ,vay above the OH\:V, this property is losing the above property into the Lake, and
therefore should be g1.wemed by State \Vater Pennitting Law and Not Local City Penuitting.
D. I personally believe that we should minimize the use of retainingwalls in the 0-75' zone.
And they should only be pem1itted when it is infeasible for vegetative plant material to grow
due to bternl root growth (Too Steep for pbnt roots to grow and stabilize pbnt itself) or
very high water runoff (Activity).
E. Hard Cover material should be used at the toe of the steep embankments for toe protection
of the embankments susceptible to erosion. Such as Riprnp.
These two proposals still alow for city authority over the projects and aids the contractor, homeowner and
regulatory authorities in streamlining the pem1iting process. That is what the ,vater law was created for.
Please use these discretionary standards in the future.
Sincerely,
From: Stephen Spartz To: Jeanne Mabusth Date: 2/3/97 Time: 14:27:30 Page 3 of3

RE: Joe Vocl-:o Project.
Date: 1/24/97 Time: 17:03:32
/
After meeting with you, today, we discussed that it is not necessary to add additional fill to the riprap project
to serve its purpose. You did discuss that citizens me allowed to fill small areas or clivits ,vith topsoil to level
ground. \.Vhen we get to that stage on our project I will notify you for a onsite visit. \.Vith the sno,v cleared
we will be able to get a better view of the project. At that time we can discuss which divits you will allow to
fill in.
Enclosed is a revised drawing shc,wing a new estimated elevation of 932. This estinrnted elevation is the new
prup,:,sed elevation after all lo\v and high ;;pots on the project are l,,veled in a mmmer to prc,duce a uniform
level appearance to better serve its purpose.
,.\,~ I mn aware,. and as we discus,;ed, we need no special pem1its or individual pennits for constructing erosion
or shoreline stabilization projects. By no special pem1its I mean filling, excavation, or hardcover surface even
thuugl1 these things are done in the 0-75" zone . .1:t·or instance we ~tre allowed the above items in order to
properly construct such projects and serve their puqx1ses.
Please copy the i\IC\.\'D on the new crossection.
Sincerely,
Stephen Spartz

or incomplete data, including recipients named by the individual; or (b) notify the individual
that he believes the data to be correct. Data in dispute shall be disclosed only if the
individual's statement of disagreement is included with the disclosed data.
The determination of the responsible authority may be appealed pursuant to the
provisions of the administrative procedure act relating to contested cases.
